In the dream of the Red Chamber, those children who have no mothers

A red chamber, a thousand reds crying, Wan Yan with sorrow. Cao Xueqin's skirts, whether they are young ladies or maidens, are almost all people in the Red Chamber.

From a secular point of view, these thin-lived women have one thing in common, they are almost all orphans who have lost their parents, or children who grew up in single-parent families.

Too many of these thin-lived women are childless.

Lin Daiyu was only five or six years old, and her mother Jia Min died of illness, because her father had no time to take care of her, she was taken to her grandmother's house.

However, within a few years, my father also died. In this way, Dai Yu became an orphan under the fence, living in Jia Province, "Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind and the sword were severely forced." ”

After seeing Baoyu being beaten, everyone went to see it one after another, "Dai Yu nodded unconsciously, remembering the benefits of people with parents, and she was in tears again. ”

Seeing Baoqin Xiuyan Li Wen Li Qi and others come to Jia Mansion to run to relatives, "Dai Yu saw it, first rejoiced, and then remembered that everyone had relatives, alone and lonely, without any relatives, and could not help but weep again." ”

Seeing baochao, who has always been a veteran, lying in the arms of his mother Aunt Xue after speaking, Dai Yu sighed with tears: "He is here like this, it is clear that he is a person who is angry with me and has no mother, and deliberately came to stab me in the eye." ”

At this time, Lin Daiyu, her tears were not flowing for Baoyu, but for her own life, for her young age, she had no parents, and could only live in her grandmother's house.

It is said that children with mothers are like a treasure, and children without mothers are like grass. Dai Yu is like that little grass that withers away from herself, Bao Yu is injured and has family pain, everyone comes to Jia Mansion with relatives and friends to vote, Bao Chao also has a mother's arms to drill, but what does she Have Lin Daiyu?

When she was bullied, no one protected her; when she was sad and sad, a person silently shed tears; her life's events, no one decided for her... After all, she was a child without a wife.

Compared with Daiyu, Xiangyun, who was "swaddled, his parents sighed and died", had a more desolate fate.

It is said that I can think of it, that Shi Da girl who came to Jia Fu was lively and smiling, cheerful and straightforward, and it turned out to be an orphan who had no parents since she was a child.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiang yun once advised Daiyu, "I am also like you, I am not as narrow-minded as you." "But as the saying goes, the gentleman does not count his own life, and the doctor does not treat his own disease." Although Xiang Yun persuaded Daiyu, she couldn't get over herself.

When there was no one, she cried and told Baochao that the family was very tired, that the home was her uncle's home, not her home, and that in order to save money for her uncle's family and supplement the family, she often had to work until three days.

Bao Chao knew that Xiang Yun had suffered from "no father's mother since childhood." "I can't help but feel sad for her."

When she returned from Jia Fu, Xiangyun was in tears, and she went to Baoyu and quietly instructed, "It's that the old lady can't remember me, and you often send someone to pick me up." ”

For Xiang Yun, probably only when she came to Jia Province, she could temporarily forget the bitter life of no mother, put down the work in her hand, and be a Miss Qianjin who didn't have to think about anything and didn't have to care.

But this child without a wife did not usher in his own good life when he arrived.

Myo-yu, who lives in Kusui-an, is also a child without parents.

Many people don't like Miaoyu's seclusion and inopportune, but looking back, without her parents, she can only give birth to a hard shell and learn to protect herself.

Although it is not true that the four great voids have been achieved, and even some monks are not monks and laymen, this is not the best way for Miaoyu, who lives in the Buddha's Gate, to keep himself alive.

She also calls herself a "deformed person", which also reflects her deformed and contradictory psychology and the reality of loneliness. She seems to have a high head, but in fact, she is not a poor orphan who depends on Jia Fu to survive?

This girl who did not enter her purpose had been so eye-high above the top and so unworldly, but in the end she also ended up with a desolate ending of "poor gold and jade, and finally fell into the mud".

Comparatively speaking, it seems that children from single-parent families are luckier than daiyu, Xiangyun, and Miaoyu, orphans whose parents have died twice, but reality tells us that children with mothers and fathers are fine, such as Baochao and Jialan, and children with fathers and mothers are not necessarily, such as Yingchun and Xichun.

Yingchun's birth mother died early, and she grew up with Madame Wang since childhood, although she had a father, it was useless, or even better than nothing.

Because, later, it was this father who was inferior to this inhuman beast who pushed Yingchun's own daughter into the fire pit.

Look at what kind of life Yingchun lived before getting married, his father did not ask, his stepmother turned a blind eye, and his brother and sister-in-law were also busy with their own affairs, this was just a child without a mother, and he became a cowardly lady who everyone could bully.

After getting married, Yingchun was even more devastated and abused from Sun Shaozu, the wolf of Zhongshan, and she did not believe that she was so miserable, but without her mother's child, it was such a fate.

Madame Wang, the aunt, could not help her in her encounter at her husband's house, except for a few tears.

I think that if Yingchun's mother was here, at least she wouldn't have been bullied so blatantly when she wasn't out of the cabinet, right? At least when the daughter is married, the mother also has the right to speak, right?

This child, who has no wife, disappeared soon after he married.

Compared with the second sister Yingchun, the fourth miss Xichun, who was "not enough in size and described as still small" when she appeared, was also a little pitiful that no one hurt and no one loved.

Therefore, when Xi Chun's stomach hurts when she is laughing, she can only find a nursing mother to rub her stomach, fortunately, she was born in a rich family and has a nursing mother to rely on. I don't know if little Xi Chun has a memory of his mother, or if he can't remember it at all.

Anyway, we didn't see how much Jia Zhen, the brother, cared about her, let alone Jia Jing, the father who left home. This child, who has no mother since childhood, can only learn to protect himself.

But so what? She was a boudoir woman, the gongfu Qianjin, when the family was raided, she finally went nowhere, and finally escaped into the empty door.

"Poor embroidered lady, lying alone next to the ancient Buddha." It is this child without a wife, the final destination of life.

The loss of a young lady who has lost her parents or mother is already hard enough, and if this identity is replaced by a beard, is it more sympathetic and pitiful?

Wang Xifeng's dowry, Ping'er, was an orphan without parents, brothers, or sisters, and she married Wang Xifeng to Jia Mansion alone, serving Lian Feng and his wife, and was often angry with splints, and Bao Yu once said that her life was even worse than Daiyu's.

Ping'er's performance in front of people is the same as Shi Xiangyun who came to Jia Province, they all look good-looking, outstanding in ability, sunny and confident, kind and upright, but in fact, they are more miserable than anyone else, because they are orphans without parents.

For Ping'er, in this world, no one will really hurt her except herself; no one will love her forever except herself. Her parents were gone, and she had no choice but to live well.

But even so, sandwiched between the Lian Feng couple, she still lived a life of careful walking on thin ice. Loyalty to Wang Xifeng will also be suspected, and it is Jia Lian's housekeeper who has to keep a distance from him...

There is no end to the eggs under the nest, and in the future, Jia Fu falls, Wang Xifeng is liquidated, and ping'er's ending is not optimistic.

What hurts us the same is the girl Qingwen who doesn't even know her last name.

Because her parents died early, little Qingwen was sold to someone very early to be a maid, because of her clever Peugeot, she was able to step by step from Grandma Lai's side to Jia Mu's side to Bao Yu's side.

When it came to Qingwen by Baoyu's side, it was really a few years of comfortable days. When she had a verbal altercation with Baoyu, baoyu wanted to drive her out, she cried and said, "I won't go out of this door when I die." ”

Why would Qingwen prefer to die in Yihong Courtyard rather than be released? She was a child without a father, and where did she go when she was released? What is she going to live on? For this orphan, Yihong Courtyard is her home.

But this girl finally left the Yihong Courtyard and died outside, and when she died, she cried out to the mother for a night.

The Qingwen in our eyes has always been a heart higher than the sky, sharp teeth, and a love of intimidation, but who could have imagined that this poor girl, on the occasion of her death, would actually shout at her neck all night?

How many open guns and dark arrows did she suffer in the world? How much injustice and grievance did she suffer in the time before she died? So much so that she remembered the fragments of her memory about her mother, and probably only "mother" could give her real warmth and love, right?

When she was alive, she never had a mother. When he died, he called out to the mother of the night. Thinking about the bleak and short life of this motherless child, it is inevitable that the nose is sour.
